Sony has faced challenges with its live-service video game releases, with notable failures like Concord. CFO Lin Tao stated that while the transition is not smooth, progress has been made over the past five years. He emphasized the importance of learning from mistakes to improve the quality of future live-service content. Successful games such as Helldivers 2, MLB The Show 26, Gran Turismo 7, and Destiny 2 are contributing positively to the company's profits. Upcoming titles like Marathon have faced setbacks, highlighting ongoing issues in the live-service game sector.
Sony CFO Lin Tao stated, "If you look five years ago, live-service games were almost non-existent for PlayStation Studios... there has definitely been change."
Tao emphasized the need to learn from mistakes, saying, "we should learn lessons from mistakes and make sure that we introduce live-service content, where there's less waste and it's more smooth."
Tao acknowledged the challenges ahead, noting the "somewhat negative news" surrounding Bungie's Marathon, which has been delayed indefinitely.
Despite some failures, Tao highlighted successful titles like Helldivers 2 and Destiny 2, stating they have been contributing to sales and profit in a stable manner.
